MP-3  Replaced one rear zone heater band & nozzle tip band.

 

MRO-  Sorted out parts on west end shelves- ( non stock items ). Made some of them stock items, Moved some to trailer, & threw the rest out.

 

MP-7  The nozzle contactor may be about to go out. Tech called me to the press & said the nozzle wouldn’t heat. When I opened the cabinet to check it out,

         The heats started working. I f it quits again, I’ll change it out.

 

MP-18  The hot stamp heat was cutting off. I checked the T.C. connection & checked for any other loose connections. Put it back together & turned it on,

      OK for now.

 

MP-5  The hot stamp foil jog motor is indexing slow. It’s keeping up. Didn’t get a chance to check it out. Maybe it will hold out till they finish the run &

        give us time to work on it.

Program change on MP3

Since the mold was broken by eject retract with a part still on it.  Temporarily we have changed the PLC program on press 3 with added safe guards to prevent mold from retracting the ejectors if the you do not have vacuum confirmation and there is a back check on the vacuum sensor to make sure the switch is adjusted properly.  Multi-eject, Y up after eject,  and eject retract before X back has been disabled.  We will work on a better solution as time allows.

MP-16  Wouldn’t shoot. One of the nozzle heater bands was bad, but it didn’t help that they heated the nozzle with a torch ( Sanaprene ). Needless to say,

       It was like concrete. I took the nozzle & adapter apart & cleaned. Reinstalled with new heater bands & a tip with a larger oraface.

 

MP-3  Breland said he wanted clippers set up for the canister. We looked at it & talked to Jerome. He said it would be easier to break the runner off & use

       a heat gun on the stress mark.

Mp#22- Pm'd machine and robot. Cleaned up conveyor belt and IML station.

Worked on minor support stuff off and on all night for techs, material handler, and moldsetter.

Assisted process techs some, we had one go home early tonight.

Have a great day. I will be back early today around 4pm.

Mp3 had some problems with nozzle heats running to 485 and the set point was 450. The contactor was good. Done some tweeking with the offset and gain. Still no good. I eliminated 2 bands as someone had crammed too many bands on a long nozzle extension and a long nozzle tip causing degradation of material causing splay That’s why I was called there for in first place. Heats are consistent now.

 

Worked on PMs

4.9/10.11 D-shift Sean (Weekend)

Mp#7- replaced all the nozzle bands and thermocouple from a bleedoff. Mp#16- replaced the nozzle band and removed bleed off. Mp#12- Checked all of the heater bands on the barrel (at Potter's request). Also hooked up the dewpoint meter to see if dryer was working correctly. I did find some loose heaterbands on the nozzle, but all of the barrel bands were good. Mp#23- Replaced the conveyor drive belt on one of the small conveyors. Installed the lockouts on the E-stop pushbuttons until I ran out of them. I still need several more to have them installed on all presses. Repaired the heat guns that were in the shop. Both had bad heaters and one of them needed brushes. Checked operation and tagged them, located them in the auxilliary equipment area in molding. Mp#8- Verified the core sequence switch was right for the old fan mold (Potters's request). Replaced nozzle heater bands on this one also. Mp#5- rebuilt the core cylinder on non-operator side. Reinstalled only to find the pull switch was bad. Broke it off in the plate when I tried to remove it and had to pull the plate and core back off again. Got that fixed and then the machine started alarming prefill valve did not open in time. I zeroed the tonnage offset and checked comm vec values for that problem and it started working good after that. I did take some photos of the classic IML station and started putting the door latches on the R2 IML station but kept getting interupted. Call if you have any questions or just want to touch base.

MP-3  Replaced the mercury contactor on the front zone.

MP-6  Vacuumed oil pan – AGAIN -  We have another motor & pump in the bunker – just need the time & man power to put it in.

I’ve been checking the vacuum sensors on the phaser robots- found three of them adjusted too high. They need to be setting these up for each eoat.

MP-10  I tried out the prototype part for the nut press , it looks like it will work fine.

MP-2 They hung the main frame & the core plugs were missing again. Also one of the hydraulic quick-connects was broke off, and the eject. back safety

         switch wire was mashed between the mold & platen, other than that, it was in great shape.

MP-2  Small blowback- took out nozzle heater band & fuse.

MP-1 Blow back- Pulled nozzle wires apart. It had a ¾ tip on it & the mold was ½” . I thought they were going to make them all ¾ .

Power outage- Tripped the north buss breaker & shut down the compressor. Reset.

I put gear oil in MP-2,3,& 4.

MP-5 Core plugs on the mold were broken. I hard wired them in to get them going. Will change them out when they pull it.

MP-4 I had no signal from the input card for Y reference. I pulled one out of MP-3 & tried it, worked fine. I put the one I thought was bad in MP-3- It ran good.

         It must have been a bad edge connection.                                                                                                                                                                           MP-8  Core not moving—Had a bad quick connect.

MP-5  The core cylinder on the non-operator side blew a seal . I pulled the cylinder & put it in the shop. Sean was repairing it when I left.

4.8.11 D-shift Sean

Robot on #11- stopped a few times. The x-axis was giving an error. I slowed the speed value down from 11000 to 8500 and that seemed to help as it did not stop anymore through the night. Press#16- Cleared a nozzle bleed-off. Press#14- replaced a nozzle heaterband. Installed the E-stop switch lock out devices on presses#2,4,6,7,8,9,10,18,and 22. I am keeping up with them on the PM board. Bill Potter requested that Ronnie get Gil to replace the worn out section of the 14mm allen socket they use for changing molds. It is worn out. Transfered the heat treat item as directions prescribed, left it laying on the table beside the oven. Swept the shop floor once over. I will continue with Pm's tomorrow and whatever else is available for repairs pending, projects, etc. Call or email if there are any questions. Have a great day. Sean

4.5.11 D-shift Sean

Mp#26- Worked on the robot interface some more tonight. I have it where it will run through one cycle completely but then I get an alarm for the X18 input "cycle start interlock signal not received". It doesn't appear that the cycle start signal is being received from the robot. It may just be a set-up thing. I got with Mark and he is going to look at it later. Meanwhile... Mp#21- D shift left the press down at 6 o'clock Thursday morning because the cable for the fan mold had broken and tooling was going to make up something more permanent to pull out the stripper plate. C shift left the Nylon in the barrel not purged. It stayed in there through day shift and into night shift when Bill let me know around 1:00 or 2:00 a.m. that it would not pull material through it. The material had turned into degraded hard plastic that resembled hard clay. After attempting to remove the material conventionally, maintenance began pulling the screw out of the barrel to unwrap it. Call if you have any questions. Have a nice day. Sean

4.4.11 D-shift Sean

Mp#11 Robot- X-axis encoder had a broken coupling. Replaced it and found a loose wire possibly. O.K. and running. Mp#26- Continued wiring interface. Ran into a problem locating the x51. The print called for a CS- Control switch for the "automatic signal". We have the HMI which has a bit that sets or something. Anyway, there was not a X51 on the terminal strip. Mark and I are looking at other possibilities for narrowing that input down. Had a power surge at around midnite and reset the compressor. Have a good day. Sean

3-3-11 Mike Daniels

Battled with robot on mp10 most of the weekend it would stop in random positions I checked power supplies the 12volt supply seemed a little hot but was working. Gary also checked all the connections it ran for a few more hrs then started stopping frequently again. Gary was working on it Sunday and discovered a relay that may have been bad, hasn’t missed a lick since.

 

Mp26 drilled and tapped platen and installed robot, plumbed the air in and ran cables. I believe Sean is going to finish the interfacing process.

 

Dr18 in shop. I finished putting process heaters in and installed new blower/motor there is a board lying in the rack not sure where it goes or if it’s bad as I didn’t remove it. And that’s where we are on that.

 

Worked some on PMs.

Mp#26- Installed the box with SPI base and routed the cable for the sprue picker interface. Will Continue interfacing it in on Monday. DR#11- replaced the process heat contactor. Moved some of the equipment out of the shop that has been waiting on parts. Tagged the items with signs. Including the Hot Stamp press Randy Russell was working on. Cleaned up in shop to make room for the R2 Fascia IML project. Continued with PM's. Have a great weekend. Call if there is anything I can help with! Sean

R2 FACIA PROJECT

We are about to begin the new R2 Facia project which will involve 7 or 8 new part numbers for molding, these will be run on MP22.  A new station will be constructed with a shuttle mechanism to present individually formed labels using two nests (operator loaded) on a subplate that mimic the mold. Gary will head up the physical building (construction, tooling) of this station, but may ask any of us to help out as needed to complete in a timely manner.  Sean will work with me on the electrical.  If anyone signs out components for this project in MRO, please sign out to R2 Facia.

 

The new Star robot for MP26 should arrive anytime.  A robot interface will need to be installed and the top of the machine will need to be drilled and tapped.  I would like Mike to install the hole pattern for the robot on the top of the machine.

 

Ronnie is ordering parts for the Conair dryer in the shop.

 

Parts are on order for the Interroll Decline Conveyor in shop.

 

Branson came in on the welder for the Ultimate Canister Vacuum Inlet Assembly, the setting are as follows:

Weld Time         .350

Hold                  .5

Trigger              3.5

Air Pressure      25psi

AB                    OFF

Stroke               3.5 inches

Adjustable Leveling plate is level.

 

Parts should be here anytime for the new Pilot Destruction Mechanism.  This may replace the duck bill style.
